Sadly, I have to admit defeat on this one. Don't have quite enough time today to dedicate more than a quick look.
Lots and lots of muggles around today (the local optimist sailing club on shore), so will come back again another day and try to find it 
Another find on our bike ride around the waterfront before stopping for lunch. Thanks Glyn.
Needs new logbook!New Zealand 2103 trip for the Auckland Mega at Albany. Day 6, Whitianga to Sapphire Springs. All quiet this morning. It would have been nice to see a few boats out and about while I grabbed this one. Thanks.

Another neat spot. Enjoyed looking at the boats. Another great piece of camo. SL. TFTC. 
Fantastic camo! Gorgeous area, kids and dog happy to explore (while I get a sit down!). TFTC!
Great camo (for muggels) easy find, getting the lid off is the hard bit, TFTC.
Visiting Whanga with overseas visitors, not much caching but couldnt resist a quick grab here, beautiful views today. Great camo, TFTC
11.30am. just had a cup of tea on the grass round the corner. First time we have seen this marina. Remember all the fuss about it when it was just a proposal. It surprised us, and must be a real asset to the town. Lot of money tied up here. Easy find.
Thank you. David and Noeline.
Thank you. David and Noeline.
Did a caching walk in the evening, the piggie series together with the two caches by the marina mad a perfect line.
As it was dark already we couldnt unfortunately see the view but we might come back tomorrow for this. Anyway, we liked the looks of the wee bit of camo
Tftc!

Tftc!Found on a geocaching adventure with my nephew (12 years old and geocaching mad). He spotted this one straight away and was very impressed with the camo. TFTC.
Parked campervan near the beach so we could have a breakfast. We did some playing with the doggies and went for this cache. With a nice, typical great glyn camo.... Thanks
Found on a pleasant afternoon biking around Whangamata looking for geocaches - this was a great way to go. Another favourite part of Whangamata to visit, thanks.

Took detour thanks to gps and stumbled out across the rocks to the red/white beacon, only to find that the gps then said I was 79 meters away @*%#%! so back across the wobbly rocks in jandals...soon found, top of the cache was off, so replaced- some of the camo may also be missing from lid...but all good and well hidden. Thanks for another
14th and last of the evening. Great find rate for an hour and a half of caching. TFTCs.
I looked.right past this one but master 7 came along.and.saw it straight away. Great camo ...
Workers dredging the harbour were dumping sand right on the mark! Luckily the cache was protected - only just! Great hide. TFTC
A weekend away with rellies from overseas - excited by the opportunity to find some more caches by glyn(the only one). Thanks for all the cool caches you place for us to find.
With the tide out it was easy to see the channel that had to be dredged out for the marina. When the tide is in this is such a nice area for the kids to play in the water and such great views up the harbour.
Cache find was not a problem as there was not a person in sight (the wind was even worse here than over at the estuary).

Lovely spot - with lots of people out walking with children and dogs - cache soon in hand and signed while admiring the view - love the camo TFTC
A very quiet area in the early evening. Yet another very clever camo container, we are amazed at the variety of cache containers that you have placed.
After finding the cache we did a wee wander around the marina and oggled at the huge boats.
Thank you for the cache.

I always appreciate a wee bit of effort going in to the camouflage so I think a favourite is appropriate. (My less exerienced side kick was fooled, so a good lesson learned! TFTC
loved the wee drop of camo! Some young chinese visitors were out in the sea learning to kayak and having a good time. easy find. TFTC

Thankfully the weather had cleared a bit by the time we reached Whangamata for the last few caches before we can pack up and head for home. Looking forward to getting home and having a shower (that doesn't fall from the sky) and crashing into bed. The cache lid was alittle hard to remove but got there in the end - well camo'd cache. TFTC

No boats coming and going today ...but it was a good day for it and for finding another Whangamata cache. Thanks
Quick find while being shown around the area by Novalightning, nice little spot to stop, TFTC
A bit showery & the tide was out but an ray find in an interesting hiding place.
9210... Nice spot to watch the boats, however, the tide was out so we didn't see any boats come or go, niiiiice camo, TFTC.
find number 2 for my young 'apprentices' - they were impressed with the camo. TFTC
Little bit of camo indeed. What great skills. We did have trouble remove the lid but got it in the end. Just fantastic hide. TFTCThere were some great boats moored near GZ and a couple were heading out during our visit. Great place to sut and enjoy the surroundings. The hide should be safe here, another great camo job TFTC.
Right near our accommodation so visited several times to introduce new catchers. Clever hide. TFTC
Great cache and lovely spot even in the pouring rain. Loved it so much came back later to cook dinner beside the estuary. TFTC leanro EnglandBrilliant camo,. luckily I've done a few of the master's caches already. Definitely a cracker spot on a day like today.

Went straight to it, for once Glyn's camo was shining like a beacon, well to us anyway.
